(2) We define our comparable hotels as properties that are owned or leased by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, and that have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption or undergone large- scale capital projects during the reporting periods being compared. (3) Room revenue per available room (“RevpaR”) represents the combination of average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved, and is a commonly used indicator of hotel performance. RevpaR does not include food and beverage or other ancillary revenues generated by the property. average room rate and RevpaR are presented on a constant uS$ basis, which presents 2015 results using the same exchange rates that were effective for the comparable periods in 2016, thereby eliminating the effect of currency fluctuation for the year-over-year comparisons.

RISOLEO President, Chief Executive Officer and Director RICHARD E. MARRIOTT Chairman of the Board Host Hotels & Resorts prides itself on being the premier lodging real estate investment company. We own a diverse portfolio of highquality and irreplaceable assets and maintain a sharp focus on creating longterm value for stockholders. Our disciplined capital allocation and strong asset management create the platform to achieve this value. Our powerful balance sheet and capital structure provide flexibility throughout the lodging cycle so that we can remain nimble to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Our bright, innovative employees thrive in a corporate culture that rewards creative thinking and hard work. We value the communities we operate in and aim to be responsible corporate citizens as an integral part of our business. We are never satisfied with yesterday’s success and strive to be better tomorrow. In 2016, we completed opportunistic and strategic dispositions, had meaningful growth in diluted earnings and Adjusted FFO per share and, most importantly, provided significant returns to stockholders. 3 We had solid RevPAR growth of 2.7% at our comparable hotels (on a constant US Dollar basis). Strong group demand and leisure travelers helped drive our occupancy to 78.5% and comparable hotel RevPAR to a record level of $177. 3 Operating profit margins improved 80 basis points due to increased productivity and cost savings at our larger properties driven by our analytical expertise. These operating improvements, combined with reduced insurance and utility costs, led to net income of $771 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion. Diluted earnings per share improved nearly 38% to $1.02 and Adjusted FFO per diluted share improved almost 10% to $1.69. 3 We sold 11 hotels, including one in early 2017, for nearly $670 million. These included our remaining hotels in New Zealand as we realized strong returns and executed on our strategy to exit the Asia-Pacific market. $ 2 . 6 B I l l I O n R E T U R n E D T O S T O C K H O L D E R S (in millions) $1,500 $1,200 $900 $600 $300 $0 2014 2015 2016 3 STOCk BUyBACk 3 DIvIDENDS PAID H O T E l S B y C l A S S (as a percent of 2016 revenues) 3 lUxURy 28% 3 UPPER UPSCAlE 70% 3 OTHER 2% 3 We invested $519 million in capital improvements at our properties, including the opening of a new 152,000 square foot exhibit hall at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. We acquired the ground lease at our Key Bridge Marriott for $54 million, creating the opportunity to explore exciting redevelopment of this unique parcel of land overlooking our nation’s capital. 3 We returned almost $815 million to our stockholders through dividends and the repurchase of approximately 14 million shares for $218 million. We haven’t rested on these accomplishments. During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired the iconic Don CeSar and Beach House Suites complex in St. Pete Beach, Florida and the irreplaceable W Hollywood in California in separate transactions total ing approximately $430 million. These fantastic hotels are in markets with a variety of strong demand generators and reflect our strategic vision to continually acquire assets that enhance the value of the entire portfolio. We also issued $400 million of senior notes with an interest rate of just 3 7/8%. For the remainder of 2017, we remain steadfast in our commitment to driving long- term value to our stockholders. We will continue to focus on mining value from our existing portfolio through utilization of our analytics capabilities, real estate enhance ment initiatives and capital investments. Our scale and diverse portfolio gives us a wealth of property information that we can leverage to enhance the value of our existing portfolio by driving improvements in operating performance. We will also continue to explore strategic acquisition and disposition opportunities as we look to take advantage of the strength of our balance sheet throughout the lodging cycle. We believe our bal ance sheet and scale provide a competitive advantage to pursue large, complex trans actions. We are very proud of and intend to maintain our investment grade rating, which we believe to be one of our core strategic tenets in the volatile lodging business. As we look forward, we remain cautiously optimistic that in this period of global political and economic uncertainty, we can continue to deliver value to our stockholders. We believe Host Hotels & Resorts is the gold standard in the lodging industry and is wellpositioned for continued success. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

We have investments in 115 high-quality assets in 70 cities across the globe, operated th e ri t z - C a r lt On , am e l i a is l a nD by 12 different management companies under 24 different brands. our 90 hotels in the united States represent 97% of our revenues, and are broadly distributed across major urban and resort locations across the country. our portfolio is predominately comprised of upper-upscale and luxury assets that can be described as: 3 iconic resorts, 3 irreplaceable Convention Destination hotels, 3 signature City-Center hotels, or 3 prime suburban and advantaged airport hotels. While our hotels are primarily operated under brand names that are among the most respected and widely recognized in the lodging industry, we also have unbranded or soft-branded properties that remain distinctive and appeal to customers seeking a unique and rewarding travel destination. our strategy is simple: drive long-term stockholder value through the ownership of superior hotel real estate. We intend to add high-quality assets in major markets and premier resort and convention destinations, while utilizing the strength of our balance sheet to be opportunistic and flexible in our approach. We remain disciplined, while at the same time nimble and open to investing in lodging assets that are accretive to our stockholders and where we believe our employees and analytical expertise can create real value. our recent acquisitions exemplify this strategy: the don ceSar in St. pete Beach is an iconic, grand dame Floridian resort on one of the top beaches in the u.S., while the glamorous W hollywood, located at the world-famous intersection of hollywood and vine has the hollywood Walk of Fame and iconic hollywood sign at its doorstep. We will continue to be prudent and disciplined in managing our portfolio, allocating capital, and focusing on value-enhancing growth. We believe our diverse portfolio of high-quality hotel properties is a key component of driving stockholder value. sa n fr a nCi sC O ma r r iO t t ma r Qu i s (left) 5 | hoSt hotelS & ReSoR tS 2016 ho t e lS By p R o p eR t y ty p e (as a percent of 2016 revenues) 3 iconic ReSoR tS 14% 3 iRReplaceaBle convention deStination hotelS 40% 3 SignatuRe city-centeR hotelS 28% 3 pRiMe SuBuRBan & advantaged aiRpoR t hotelS 11% 3 otheR 7% ge o gRa p h i c di v eR Si t y (as a percent of 2016 revenues) 3 uS noR theaSt and Mid- atlantic (33%) 3 uS South and centRal (32%) 3 uS WeSt coaSt and ha Waii (32%) 3 inteRnational (3%) IconIc ResoRts from the aaa five-Diamond phOeniCian, rising majestically from the base of Camelback mountain in scottsdale, arizona, to the five-star hO tel arts BarCelOna (owned through a joint venture), a true beacon of luxury on the shores of the mediterranean sea, our iconic resort properties are located in prime locations and feature timeless architecture with high-end amenities.

We also completed the comprehensive repositioning of both the hyatt Regency San Francisco airport and the denver tech Marriott properties, improving or completely redesigning nearly every facet of these properties. in addition, the $293 million of renewal and replacement capital expenditures in 2016 was designed to maintain the high-quality standards that we demand and helps assure that our hotels will remain competitive long-term. during 2016, we also executed several strategic dispositions, including the substantial exit from the Asia-Pacific region with the sale of four hotels in New Zealand. Combined with the sale of seven other properties, we completed nearly $670 million in sales in 2016 and early 2017. importantly, the average 2015 RevpaR for these 11 disposed hotels was $112, compared to our 2016 comparable hotel RevpaR of $177; evidence of our continual refinement and improvement of the portfolio. Proceeds from asset sales have been used as a source of funds for our stock repurchase program, capital expenditures program, other corporate objectives and our recent acquisitions. We look to mine value from our real estate through our value enhancement initiatives. our acquisition of the ground lease at our key Bridge Marriott provides the opportunity to evaluate the potential for a mixed use development, including retail, office, and lodg- ing in a highly desirable location with quick access to Washington, d.c. We believe similar opportunities may exist across our portfolio and we continue to critically analyze the wealth of data and information from our properties to implement strategies that capitalize on the value of the real estate. examples of these opportunities have included $26 Million 2016 eBitda and $3 million net loss from our four hotels that were repositioned in 2015 13.2% average unlevered return on assets sold in 2016 $1.4 Billion proceeds from dispositions reinvested into acquisitions and Roi projects over the last 3 years di v i d e n dS de c l aRe d peR S h aRe $0.86 $0.84 $0.82 $0.80 $0.78 $0.76 $0.74 $0.72 $0.70 2014 2015 2016 the leasing of retail space and construction of the 25,000 square foot lcd signage at the new york Marriott Marquis, shown on the right, and the sale of excess land for the development of a timeshare in Maui. neW Y Or k ma r r iO t t ma r Qu i s (above right) th e phOe n iCi a n , a lu x u rY COl l eCt iOn re sO r t ax iOm h O t e l W se at t l e 8 | hoSt hotelS & ReSoR tS 2016 IRReplaceable conventIon DestInatIons Our group-oriented convention hotels are situated in urban and resort markets and feature extensive, high-caliber meeting facilities.

To enhance our profitability, we are supported by our enterprise analytics group, which provides independent feasibility, business intelligence, revenue management, capital expen- ditures acumen and financial planning and analysis. This expertise allows us to benchmark and monitor hotel performance and cost controls and complete deep-dive analytic reviews across brands and properties to seek new opportunities that could increase profit. these core functions assist our asset management team in focusing on their key goal of maximizing eBitda per room at every one of our hotels and enhancing the overall portfolio. our asset managers work closely with our operators to ensure that best practices and strategic initiatives learned at individual properties are being deployed at each hotel. When possible, we also look for ways to improve contract flexibility through the extension or purchase of ground leases or the restructuring of management agreements. We work with leading brands and independent operators to ensure our properties are better able to anticipate guests’ requirements and are best positioned in their competitive market. today, we have 16 independently managed hotels in our consolidated and joint venture portfolio. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and provide us flex- ibility upon sale as well as tighter operating efficiencies when put to use on some of our smaller, less complex assets. however, for the majority of our large resort, convention, or signature city hotels, we believe our partnerships with major brand operators, such as Marriott, are the optimal and most productive method for operating these exceptional and multi-faceted assets.

Our flexible capital structure is a key competitive and strategic advantage and allows us to opportunistically pursue invest- ment opportunities throughout the lodging cycle. importantly, sometimes market conditions entice us to return capital to stockholders through dividends or stock repurchases. in 2016, we returned over $800 million to stockholders through divi- dends and stock repurchases. preserving access to capital is a core strategic tenet of our company. one objective measure of financial strength is being recognized as investment grade by rating agen- cies. We believe an investment grade rating helps provide consistent access to, and a lower cost of, capital, including lower overall interest rates. the current rate on both of our credit facility term loans is less than 1.9%. We achieved this goal by systematic refinancings and repayments over the past five years, while structuring our debt to maintain a balanced maturity schedule and minimize near-term maturities. as a result, no more than 23% of our outstanding debt is due in any given year. We also believe in a capital structure that has an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt in order to minimize interest rate risk, while at the same time taking advantage of histori- cally low rates to drive stockholder value. overall, our investment grade balance sheet allows us to operate from a position of financial strength and take advantage of changing markets or dislocations in markets, providing value to both our company and our stockholders. as of december 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate of all our debt is 3.8% and weighted average maturity is 5.2 years. We also believe a strong capital structure means limiting the number of assets encum- bered by mortgage debt, which allows us more flexibility to be opportunistic with both dispositions and acquisitions. during 2016, we repaid approximately $135 million in mortgage debt and, as a result, have only one consolidated asset with mortgage debt in our portfolio. our ability to access the $1 billion line under the revolving portion of our credit facility provides a ready source of capital. our credit facility has also helped us invest in international markets where debt is either difficult to source or where interest rates are higher. at the same time, local currency debt from our facility has served as an effective hedge against a strengthening u.S. dollar for our investments in europe, canada and australia.
